Heavily supported by the UK government as a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes and an effective cessation tool, the UK vaping industry has experienced meteoric growth. Over 2,000 retail outlets and a burgeoning e-commerce industry, has driven one of the fastest growing consumer goods sectors of this century. Vaping is not only a growing trend, with 39 million users of e-cigarettes globally and projected to grow to £64 million by 2022.
WVS London will be open to both trade professionals and the general public (18 and over) and will offer a glittering showcase of the vape and e-cigarette community - with over 100 exhibitors showing off 1000's of global brands and products.
Organisers say, “this is a growing industry that can't be ignored by the retailers, wholesalers or distributors of smoking goods who are looking to complement their existing business with new product lines, or by offering healthier alternatives to help increase their profits.
“As an essential part of the buying chain, we welcome all Retailers, Wholesalers and Distributors as our VIP guests. Whether you already sell vape related products yet, or not, it’s a rapidly growing industry and a trip to the World Vape Show in December could help grow your business.”
WVS London also believes this is an opportunity for entrepreneurs who have yet to engage with the vape market.
“Come to WVS to see for yourself why you should be selling these hugely popular and profitable products. It is said that there are 39 million users of e-cigarettes globally and this is projected to grow to 64 million people by 2022, and with news of the NHS looking to make e-cigarettes available to help cut smoking rates, why not open up a new revenue stream and attract new customers that are looking to switch away from traditional cigarettes. Come and meet with thousands of global brands in order to future proof your business.”
A conference will be running in tandem with WVS London.
There are 10 sessions planned for the two days including over 8 hours of content, involving more than 30 speakers from companies and organisations such as The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, Trading Standards, the UK Vaping Industry Association, JCIC International, the Institute of Economic Affairs, the Centre for Health Research and Education, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance’s Consumer Centre, We Vape and the Snus Users Association.
Topics will include:
- UK Regulation Overview
- Age Verification Solutions
- Misinformation & Junk Science around Vaping
- Compliance
- Opportunities in the Convenience Sector
- Tobacco Harm Reduction in Healthcare
- Sustainability, and more
Speakers include: Nick Colling, John Dunne, Jeannie Cameron, Shane Macguill, Lee Bryan, Martin Miller, Robert Sidebottom, Doug Mutter, Damien Bove, Peter Beckett, Dustin Dahlmann, Tim Philips.
World Vape Show London will take place 10-11 December 2021.
